It sounds to me that it is possible that current releases of MailMate 
would only support image blocking on High Sierra (10.13) or above, which 
should be a smaller set than if it was Mojave (10.14) and above.  For 
anyone on Sierra (10.12) or older, they could stick with an older 
version of MailMate and retain image blocking.

I kept my laptop on 10.6.8 for many years specifically so I could keep 
using Mac Eudora.
